About this app

Throw away paper reading calendars forever. Reader Zone is revolutionizing how schools and libraries create and host reading programs.

You can create your own goal-based reading program, or join an existing reading program. Use the app to enter daily reading in minutes, pages, books, etc. The app allows you to see how you’re doing with reading goals in real time. Parents and children will enjoy using the app to log reading progress.

Reading program organizers can build reading programs for any size group. Reading programs can have an unlimited number of reading groups. Each reading group can have a distinct reading goal. It’s simple to view and export reading data for incentive programs and to monitor the reading progress of participants.

Reader Zone is a powerful tool for parents and educators. It's easy to use and provides data that teachers, parents and reading professionals need to enhance their efforts.

Ratings and reviews

I like the idea of the app, and if it worked well I would give it 5 stars. We are doing a summer reading program through the library and they asked us to use this app. The problem is our books are not being counted sometimes and several times it even subtracted from our totals. The app still shows the books we have read, just the count is off. We aren't using the timer function so I don't know if that is also inaccurate.

This app is free and has no ads! Our library had setup a virtual reading program and we downloaded the app to log our books. When we first opened the app, there was a tutorial on how to use the app. It is well designed and has a simple format. If you want to add more than one reader you click the parent icon when you are registering. I added 3 readers and they can all log their books, and rate them. There's also a timeline and a section where you can log books for each reader as a parent.

Very poor experience with this app. I had multiple issues adding a reader (my daughter) to the account. And the app crashed 7 times while I was trying to edit info within my profile. Very disappointing that a simple "user-friendly" app for tracking reading goals could be so difficult to use.
